Yep, it’s true….BATMAN 1966 IS BAAAAACK!
The guys at DC just have annouced they are bringing the campy 1966 Batman series as a digital comic. Here is the official report
The announcement came last night in Hollywood, …
…Inspired by the television series, which aired from 1966 to 1968 on ABC, Batman ’66 is written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Jonathan Case. In an ironic turn, Michael Allred, whose Adam West/Batusi cover (below) couldn’t be used for DC’s Solo because of legal issues, will be providing the cover for the first issue. Like the DC’s other digital-first comics, Batman ’66 will be collected monthly in print.
“The juxtaposition of offering a retro Batman ’66 comic as a current and modern digital first title is fun,” DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson said in a statement. “DC Entertainment is the most prolific producer of digital first comics and, as we work to create new and compelling content, this is a great way to also preserve the legacy of our characters. It’s exciting to roll out the new Batman ’66 comic as part of this bigger initiative with our Warner Bros Consumer Product partners.”

(I don’t know about this (don’t even understand DC’s thinking pattern either), but wonder what Cesar Romero would think about this if he was alive…after all he was the FIRST Joker….)
Words cannot describe how happy this makes me. :3
Love all Jokers equally. <3 8)
